What does OpenSSL's EVP mean? I know it is a higher level crypto interface library in OpenSSL, but what do the letters E-V-P stand for?

Thanks, Chenz

Interesting question. I don't know for sure, but the
#ifndef
at the top of evp.h is:

#ifndef HEADER_ENVELOPE_H

So, I'm guessing Envelope.

Better guess than I could come up with. – Crazy ChenzJun

That's right - the
EVP_*
functions are "envelope encryption". – cafJun
